Review

"Timely and important in that attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common reasons for referral to child and family behavior therapists and clinics in the United States and elsewhere....Barkley's book distinguishes itself in its coverage of the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD, reviewing issues in the assessment and ADHD, assessment goals and the information needed to conduct a valid and comprehensive interview. The companion book also provides assessment scales and questionnaires including a very comprehensive listing of differential diagnostic tips for distinguishing ADHD from other psychiatric disorders. He provides detailed parent questionnaires for assessing child behavior problems and he discusses the most widely used child behavior rating scales....Barkley also presents a clinical workbook that has significant clinical utility. He provides forms for use with children, adolescents and adults and provides comprehensive instructions for completing his checklists and questionnaires....Inclusive and thorough....One notable feature of Barkley's book is the extensive reference section at the end of each chapter. It is markedly inclusive and attests to the thoroughness with which he approached this revision....It is an excellent text for clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and physicians seeking a current resource on ADHD. It would be a good addition to any graduate psychology course on child or adult psychopathology where ADHD is an emphasized disorder."--Child and Family Behavior Therapy

"The Handbook remains the essential ADHD reference for clinicians, educators, and investigators. In the third edition, Dr. Barkley and colleagues have created a substantively updated text, incorporating new insights in phenomenology, genetics, neuroimaging, and clinical interventions. Lucid descriptions of assessment methods, diagnosis, and integrated treatments establish a foundation both for contemporary clinical practice and for future research inquiry. The newly organized Key Clinical Points in each chapter, combined with comprehensive reference lists, ensure that the richness of content is both comprehensive and accessible."--James J. McGough, MD, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, UCLA School of Medicine

"The third edition of this handbook continues to have the excellent readability and clinical relevance of the previous editions. Important updates regarding the etiology, genetics, neuroimaging, and treatment of ADHD are provided throughout. Dr. Barkley makes these complex areas understandable to the clinician through his clear, concise, jargon-free prose. The book contains contributions from many of the leaders in clinical research on both psychopharmacological and psychosocial treatments, and will be invaluable to clinicians of all specialties who wish to establish a state-of-the-art ADHD treatment program. This book is an ideal text for psychology or counseling graduate programs, as well as psychiatry residency training. It gives trainees a comprehensive exposure to the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD."--Steven R. Pliszka, MD, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio

"Russell Barkley has surpassed his earlier efforts in this new work, which is more than a simple overview of the field of ADHD. This handbook provides an in-depth, critical review of the majority of issues in ADHD. Barkley tackles associated controversies in a forthright manner, taking on both the antipsychiatry critics and the therapeutic nihilists. This book will remain a standard reference and text for students in developmental psychopathology and for practitioners and scientists, and will take its predecessor's place on the shelves of many informed consumers as well."--Russell Schachar, MD, Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, Canada

"The third edition of this highly regarded work is extremely well done and contributes significantly to the fields of psychology, education, and medicine, in advancing both the science and practice of ADHD treatment. The range and scope of the contents are truly exceptional. This handbook will be an important and very useful text in our child and adolescent psychotherapy course and in our clinical practicum as well."--Thomas R. Kratochwill, PhD, School Psychology Program, University of Wisconsin/n-/Madison

"This timely third edition is a worthy update of its predecessors. Every chapter integrates new knowledge, and significant new developments in the field all receive updated and cogent commentary. It is notable that Barkley and collaborators do not attempt to critically evaluate the entire literature, but rather cull for practitioners the most clinically relevant information. Those who already own the second edition of this classic resource will find ample reason to upgrade to the third, and students and younger practitioners coming to the Handbook for the first time will enjoy the most comprehensive coverage of clinically applicable information about ADHD available in a single, scholarly source."--Joel T. Nigg, PhD, Department of Psychology, Michigan State University

"The most scholarly, authoritative, and comprehensive text ever written on ADHD, this is a must-read, revered resource for physicians, clinical and school psychologists, mental health professionals, educators, and graduate students interested in ADHD."--Mark D. Rapport, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Central Florida

“The new edition of the Handbook is a virtual encyclopedia of ADHD. It is the most comprehensive, up-to-date resource available, and provides a thorough review, discussion, and 'key points' summaries of topics including etiology, diagnostic evaluation, theoretical models, developmental course, gender differences, comorbidities, and treatment. The Handbook is a 'must' for clinicians and researchers and is an excellent text for advanced graduate clinical psychology courses.”--Howard Abikoff, PhD, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, New York University School of Medicine

"The standard reference in the field....Barkley''s...theory of ADHD brings together his own vast knowledge of ADHD and other areas--developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental neuropsychology, then bridges the deficits commonly found in ADHD with the broad area of executive functions. He is quite aware that he is breaking new ground, and that there is speculation in his formulations. But we are grateful he has put his good mind to developing this area. Having a theory to develop and test is a welcome development in this field....Because of Barkley''s focus on executive functions, he is likely to bring some clarity to this often murky area....This book should be on every neuropsychologist''s shelf. It gives the most complete up-to-date review of known research on ADHD."--Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology

"This Handbook and Workbook are invaluable reference volumes and should be on the bookshelves of all mental health professionals who work (or perform research) with children, adolescents, and/or adults with ADHD....Does not disappoint as the ultimate, authoritative reference for both researchers and clinicians....Most important, the Workbook includes a limited photocopy license that gives users permission to duplicate the instruments for use with their patients or clients. Over time, clinicians will find that the ability to do so will allow this set to pay for itself many times over....This volume is a major addition to the scientific literature about ADHD. Its depth and breadth is second to none, and every area discussed within the Handbook is treated exhaustively. The reviews of relevant research are focused, balanced, current, and highly relevant. The inclusion of expanded content about the assessment and treatment of ADHD in adults is a highly welcomed addition that will increase the appeal of these highly popular volumes."--PsycCRITIQUES (PsycCRITIQUES 20070301)
